For Miami? Me too. Can never root for the Suns to lose.

No. I'm rooting for a Phoenix loss. I'm aboard the tank. I want one of Simmons, Ingram, Dunn, or Dragan in this draft, and so I want us to have the best odds possible of making that happen.

so long as Booker and Warren are getting 30+mpg whenever they are able and eligible, i'm OK

oh and that big ukrainian guy needs to play too

Tonight if Tyson could show up and battle for some boards with Whiteside (if he plays) that would be nice, but otherwise, we might just want to go with Leuer at the 5 to take Whiteside out of the game. We just need to make sure we don't allow them to get offensive rebounds. We are unlikely to get many offensive boards.

You are right though....Len needs to start balling. He looked awful the other night. If they can't battle Whiteside for boards, then ther is really no point playing either Tyson or Len. Having Whiteside on my fantasy team and seeing him often put up 15-20 boards, that is scary...may need to go small with Leuer at 5 and PJ at 4. I like when PJ is out there at the 4 while all of our scorers are in there (Warren, Booker and Knight)....the team plays with more heart and energy when he is in there.

It doesn't seem like it would be fun to hope for a loss, particularly if our young guys put in a huge effort. I expect this to be a tough game though, and even though this sounds ridiculous, without having Bledsoe, not having Price really leaves us vulnerable at PG depth. So I guess in that case, you are in super shape for your hopes.

Cool, so tonight you are a Miami fan, and the anti Suns fan until the possibility we land a great player, and that player pans out? :lol:

I can understand being ok with a loss, because it could mean we get a better position in a draft six months away, but I'm never cool with wishing a loss on the team you are supposed to be rooting for.

No way we out tank Minny, LAL, Brooklyn, and Philly......we try to win and they are trying to lose. I think LAL tries to win as well. How can Brooklyn and Minny be so pathetic. You should be allowed no more than 4 top five picks in 5 years, if so you automatically go to the end of the lotto.

TJ Warren is the best bench player in the NBA and Hornacek should be fired.

Leuer with an underrated job on Bosh early. In fact both him and Chandler starting well in this one.

Is Warren injured or something?

Archie is being very active on D. He's not been a worldbeater by any means, but this season, with how lost it already is, he deserves a consistant shot at the backup 2 spot.

Lottery system needs to be thrown out. You should get the 1st pick once every 30 years.

Take out Archie Goodwin for Brandon Knight with 6 seconds left? Since when has Brandon Knight ever done anything good at the end of a quarter. Goodwin was creating well for his teammates anyway so that move was completely unjustified.

I'd love to see Kieff have a big game.

That type of **** pisses me off, hornacek tries to get strategic puts in booker and knight ignores everybody and puts up a bad shot

Is Mirza dead? Why the hell is Keef playing?

Its a free forum... He's allowed to root for a loss if he wants to, just as you are allowed to root for a win.

You always call out people who wants a high draft pick... for years now. Get over it.

As an organization, our #1 priority should be the future. It's Archie's 3rd year and we are 13-25......why the hell is he getting DNP-CD's!?!?!? He has played well enough when given minutes in the past to deserve an opportunity. We can always trade him if we decide he isn't part of the future.

I'm just disgusted. Hornacek really set this franchise back badly with all his stupid moves.

Archie sucks. The reason Price plays is a demand to try to get to playoffs and not to use game time to develop guys who are terrible and will likely never see a 2nd nba contract.

Low confidence... yup.
Ovethinks a 3pt shot... yup.
Plays erratic sometimes... yup.

He is far from sucking. If you compare him to a James Harden or a Westbrook, yes he sucks. But for a raw player who rarely plays against NBA at 21 years old... He still has hopes.

Where did I say he couldn't be a Miami fan? I never said he couldn't want a high draft pick, I just said I can't wish a loss on a team I'm supposed to be rooting for. If you don't understand what I write, don't chime in to tell me how I should think. :wink:
